Representatives of the Binyamin and Samaria Residents Council filed a complaint with the Israel Police against Amos Oz on Sunday, following the author’s comments that "hilltop youth" were "neo-Nazis", Channel 2 reported.

"The writer’s words are serious incitement to racial hatred, and for that he deserves the Nobel Prize in racism," said the Council.

Executive Director Sagi Keisler said that he expects that police will arrest Oz in the coming hours.

"Following the precedent of Eliraz Fein from Yitzhar, who wrote similarly unsavory things in the settlement’s internal forum and was arrested immediately afterwards, the police can’t ignore the writer’s grave incitement," he said.
